The paper provides information on the test of Encyrtus lecaniorum (Mayr.) against the dangerous pest Coccus hesperidum L. (brown soft scale) of tropical and subtropical plants growing at the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute. The biological features of E. lecaniorum were investigated. Collected plants of C. hesperidum were: Anthurium andreanum Linden., Syngonium auritum (L.) Schott., Citrus limon (L.) Burm. fil., Ficus pumila L. for keeping E. lecaniorum stock culture. Methods for keeping and preserving C. hesperidium and E. lecaniorum were developed.
